This is fascinating! When you speak, is it the "full chest" register or is
it the "mix"? I get the sense that most women speak in this mix register,
though I have heard women speak in what sounds to me like "full chest".
As you know, most men speak in their "full chest" voices. I wonder if the
level of comfort in singing in a particular range is related to level of
comfort which develops from speaking in it. Although the basic range of my
voice is fairly normal (I am capable of singing baritone parts if I have
to), I've noticed that I tend to speak rather high in my range for most
conversation... I would call it a mix rather than my full chest
production. Perhaps this is why I feel so comfortable singing
countertenor?
